INLAND VILLAGE
Pozo de los Frailes
A quiet village on the road between Níjar and the southern beaches.
Pozo de los Frailes is a small village on the road connecting Níjar with San José, known for its Arab waterwheel —one of the best preserved in Andalusia— and for being a common stop between the interior and the coast.
The village has some restaurants appreciated by locals, a quiet rural neighborhood atmosphere, and that intimate scale that the small inland centers of the municipality effortlessly retain.
